The Date of Birth Challenge

Second and final update for Sol Platinum:

♦ Battled Maylene and won, and then made my way down to Pastoria City after taking care of the Galactic Grunts. Once there, I caught a Quagsire in the Great Marsh, and then bred it to get a Wooper. Named it Teracua.
♦ Trained Teracua up a bit, and then challenged the gym. Wake was hard, but he was eventually brought down by the entire team.
♦ Chased the Galactic Grunt and beat him up, then obtained the SecretPotion from Cynthia. Used it on the Psyducks on the route up towards Celestic Town, and then made my way there.
♦ Battled Cyrus in the cave, and then obtained the HM for Surf. Did some Surf sidequests, and then made my way to Canalave City. Once there, I went to Iron Island to get the Strength HM, and then I went back and easily defeated Byron.
♦ Received word from Prof. Rowan about Galactic's meddling, so I went to two lakes and took care of some business.
♦ Around this point, I believe I added a Mareep as my team member, for my yellow Pokémon. My original plan was a Dunsparce, but as I couldn't find it anywhere, I decided on this instead. I named her Elempera and trained her up to be on par with the rest of the team.
♦ Reached Snowpoint City and battled Candice, who was also taken down easily.
♦ Made my way to the lake using Rock Climb. Then, I raided Galactic's HQ in Veilstone, followed by a trekk to the summit of Mt. Coronet.
♦ In the Distortion World, I battled Cyrus, who was really tough. After defeating him and Giratina, I continued towards Sunyshore City. On the route just west of it, I trained my team up to Lv 70.
♦ Took on the Sunyshore gym using mostly Teracua. Volkner knew how to put up a fight, but was eventually brought down. After this, I got the Waterfall HM from Jasmine, and made my way up to Victory Road.
♦ Once through it, I battled my rival one final time at the Pokémon League, and then trained my team up to Lv 75, followed by some moveset finalizing and Rare Candy-giving. Then, I took on the league!
♦ Aaron wasn't too difficult, Gunther could take care of most of the work.
♦ Bertha was quite tough, but was eventually brought down by most of my team members.
♦ Flint had some fatal combos (SolarBeam + Power Herb) to counter Teracua, but I could also defeat him with the help of MissMarple, among others.
♦ Lucian was also tough, but he had few counters for MissMarple. Gandalf also helped here.
♦ Last up was the champion, Cynthia, who had a powerful team. However, I was able to bring her down and become the champion.

I really, really enjoyed using Shiftry in this hack. It went miles over my expectations, and I was gladly surprised! I'll definitely be using it in OR/AS. I had never used a Dustox before this, and that was less of a joyride. It really only became useful if it could set up Nasty Plot, and those times were few as it isn't very bulky. Nevertheless, it was fun to use.

My next game will be Blaze Black 2, and as for my team:

Name: Bewbs
Game: Pokemon Y
Pokemon Team:
1. Furret (Central)
2. Vaporeon (Coastal)
3. Delibird (Mountain)
4. Bellossom (Grass)
5. Ampharos (Yellow)
6. Something on Route 5 which could be either Abra, Doduo, Minun, Gulpin, Bunnelby, Skiddo, Pancham or Furfrou

1. #20 Raticate :| not a particular favorite of mine
2. #19 Rattata :| seriously, him again
3. #1 Bulabasaur :) ok, he's not bad, could be worse
4. I'll choose Sneasle as there arn't that many good ice types i haven't used in gen 3
5. Umbreon, my second favorite eeveelution
6. the first encounter on Route 1. Update: Thank goodness the first encounter after i got pokeballs was a pidgey.

I'm basically signing up for a second run. As much as i don't like raticate, i kinda want my last poke to be rattata just because but i could use a flying type and pidgy's not bad.

Well gave this challenge a well good run through. It wasn't so bad playing it in french as it made it more challenging/interesting. Some of the pokemon have pretty good names in french. There were lots of hard times, but this was a pretty good challenge. I never changed my team and didn't use my own HM slave. So I'll edit this post and make a breakthrough of my story.

This challenge is just what I'm looking for - a way of playing through the pokemon regions again with some new mons I probably wouldn't normally pick. I'll be trying this out in an ultimate format, that is completing the challenge once in every canon region so far starting with Hoenn (when I get the game on friday). For my first game of the challenge my sign up is below:

My date of birth is 19/02/96 and I will be playing through generation 3 therefore my team will be:

1. #117 - The Vibrava Line
2. #57 - The Geodude Line
3. #18 - The Dustox Line
6. Ice - The Walrein Line
5. Black - The Dusclops Line
6. The first pokemon on route 2

All pokemon I have never used before just as long as I don't get zigzagoon on route 2 I'm really happy with how its looking at the moment :)
